Subject: Re: Your fund US$10.5M is ready for Transfer call me
Attn: Esteemed Beneficiary,
This letter is written to you in order to change your life from today. I am Edward Adamu,the new director, international remittance department of this Bank.My boss Mr Godwin Emefiele, the Governor of this Bank is now on compulsory leave and all power has been vested on me to make all international payment.
Furthermore due to allegations of corrupt practices against other Nigeria Banks, the Federal Government of Nigeria has appointed me to effect all foreign overdue payment.
Be informed that the Federal Government have Approved the release of $10.5M which has been in this Bank for many years UNCLAIMED. My boss in collaboration with other Bank Directors have refuse to tell you the truth on how to claim your fund.
This is because they have been using the interest accumulated from your fund every year to enrich themselves without your knowledge.
I want to help you PULL OUT this fund to your Bank account today using the easiest and quickest method which has not been known to you before. By this method a Domiciliary Account will be opened for you in our Bank.
A domiciliary account is a secure account which we will open for you in our Bank and Credit your payment of $10.5M for further credit into your account.The essence of this Domiciliary account is to secure and protect your payment from being diverted by fraudulent people or making payment to a foreign account which do not belong to you.
The greatest advantage is that you can instruct us to credit your nominated account bit by bit with small amount thereby saving yourself from the trouble of Financial Authority in your country who monitor large transfer due to current trend of terrorism.
Another beauty of the domiciliary account is that you can retain the balance left in your account in our Bank and can also instruct us to pay out money to any Bank of your choice in the world, or issue you an ATM Card which you can use in any part of the world when on a business trip. I hope you now understand the advantages of a Domiciliary account and why you need this account to receive your payment of $10.5M now in our Bank.
You are advice to forward as a matter of urgency your full banking coordinate, direct telephone and Fax number and your contact address as we have started the process of the account for you. Call or sms me on +2347058448892 so that I will issue you a payment release code which must be given to you personally on telephone strictly for security reason.
This code is very important and it is what you will use to confirm your payment.
Yours faithfully
Mr. Edward Adamu
